Leader of the PaK

Couple if quick posts tonight. Firstly, I've just finished painting a pair of Italeri fast assembly Pak40s. Great little models, assembly was really quick. They don't really need glueing, but I have glued the front armour plate and wheels just for security. The only suggestions I'd give to anyone about these models is that shaving down the lugs on the main gunshield a bit helps (its easier to assemble and put less strain on the part, I nearly split mine before doing this) and, if you're painting camo, to do it before assembly. Luckily I did this and it made things much easier.

One of the other great things about this set is that each gun comes with a complete crew of 6. They're on the painting table at the moment, so I should be able to post them in a couple of days (I'm having camo traumas...).

Next up should be some Italeri M3 half tracks, presuming I can pick them up from the post office tomorrow between meetings.
